Peter's work for high-stakes corporate clients combines strategic thinking, creative solutions, and old-fashioned common sense. Clients say he's "in a league of his own: outstanding in every respect, extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and very hardworking" (Chambers USA).

Peter represents issuers in private and public offerings of debt and equity securities, as well as acquirers and sellers of businesses. He also counsels public companies in regard to compliance and public reporting responsibilities, including duties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate governance reforms.
